neutral MatthewLaSon : My understanding is that Code X is contained under/is included in Article 5. Article 5 not only concerns/relates to Code X, it contains the actual code (contained under).There is a big difference in meaning .Zaphod is not wrong, but could be said better

but you agreed with 'indexed under'. have never encountered that (ie provisions indexed under)./of course CodeX is part of Article 5./repeat: this is referring to the provisions concerned with/relating to or even under CodeX

indexed under

portant dans ce cas voudrai dire "sous la rubrique du codexxx" je pense.
Peer comment(s):

agree MatthewLaSon : I think you are indeed correct. This is constantly mistranslated. It means to be "contained under", or included in/under. You are no longer alone. I've done enough research to know this is correct. It does not mean simply "concerning/related to".
